Councillor flees from Kenyan jail hell (From Echo)

Send him back.
He is a Nigerian accused of conning another Nigerian living in Nigeria.
To say the dispute should have gone through the UK courts because he was in the UK at the time is quite frankly laughable.
I don't suppose the relatives who provided (& have now lost) his bail are too happy either.

Why am I not surprised he's a Labour councillor?

I read recently that 20% of the GDP of Kenya is lost through fraud and corruption. Even if he was guilty of the crimes, there is no way soft touch UK would extradite him. Human rights and all that!

I quote: He said: “You have to understand how things work in my country."


Isn't 'his country' England now? After all he's an appointed public representative.

More importantly, I would suggest that whilst he's "on the run" he is unfit for office, irrespective of the jurisdiction the alleged offence took place in.

Send him back.

I quote from the above article

He said: “You have to understand how things work in my country”

Well Daniel Munyambu if you class Kenya as your country why are you living in Basildon Essex and why have you stood for election as a local councillor.

Your actions of leaving Kenya illegally show you not to be an honourable man.

My sympathies are with those relatives who had trust in you and stood surety for your release from prison on bail. You have dishonoured them by fleeing.

Did the Kenyan authorities not confiscate his passport? If so how did he manage to fly back to the UK. Did he claim to have lost his passport or perhaps travel on someone else’s?

IMHO his return to the UK needs to be looked into!

He should also be immediately have his councillor status removed as by his own admission he breaks the law to suit himself.

As to talking to the Echo about the injustice of the situation what about the injustice he has not only given to his family but the people that voted for him?

Calling all Labour voters in Basildon - ever get the feeling Labour are laughing at you?
.

I would normally say that there is no smoke without fire. However, we must also remember that a lot of African nations are corrupt and incidents involving the legal aspects of these countries should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Mr Manyambu should return to Kenya and prove his innocence. Despite his claims of corrupt court officials he should live by the words of his own election slogan - ” IT CAN BE DONE, PLAY YOUR PART”.

If nigeria pay me i'll go all bounty hunter on him and get him back there

Yes that was my thought exactly. If you consider somewhere else as 'your country' then your located in the wrong place mate.

There is a large and well known 2nd hand car sales "business" running into west Africa. Panorama put a tracker on a car and left it in an east end theft blackspot a while ago. They then watched it get loaded on a ship for Lagos (after an ID change ofcourse).
.
It is true that tin pot regimes will only pursue the course of law when the suspect is not in with the "in crowd". My Munyambu has clearly upset somebody.

If it's Gordon McBroon then the laughter is utterly insane and aimed at the whole country.

Mr Munyambu even if the allegations are in fact correct, is frankly no worse than the rest of the Labour /Liberal/ Conservative party.

if you lot keep voting for the three main 'showers of sheeeyite' then don't be surprised if thats the ethical standards of your elected representatives. Vote Criminals get Criminals.

Why is he being called Mr Munyambu in this article?

I've looked up his company on Companies House's website and his real name is MR DANIEL MUNYAMBU KAMAU (presumably MRS MARY KAMAU, another director of his company is spouse).

According to Companies House's website Mr Kamau's company was struck off and dissolved after trading for two years without filing any accounts.

Now, I have no proof that this is what happened in this case, but it is not unknown for sleazy characters to set up a company and then let it be struck out, leaving people who are owed money by the company high and dry.

And I suppose the fact that no accounts were ever filed will make it nigh impossible to establish what really went on.

In any event, this does not look good at all.

And if he really is using his middle name as though it was his family name, it looks even worse.

I hope the Labour party will now suspend him pending a full investigation?

Can we please have him as a Councillor in Southend?

Yeah why ? maybe because Tory's are more honest :) Thanks for brightening my day.

I feel sorry for his relatives who I would assume have now lost their vehicle and land because he fled.

Or Rochford - we can do a swap for Keith Gordon.

I live in Essex but still consider myself a West Londoner who has moved to Essex. Also my father is Welsh, but lived in England 79 years, but Wales is still his country.
I have no idea about this councillor or his dealings, but do feel he can consider his place of birth as his country even if he doesn't live there.

Why so narrow minded? Ever wondered if they are not all laughing at you?

There needs to be an additional box to check on the next ballot paper: None of the above.

Now THAT would be the party I would vote for.

I disagree 100%. My father was from Neath but didn't consider himself Welsh to the exclusion of his chosen country- England.
In MrMyunambu's case If I enter a country and stand for election then it's a massive smack in the kisser to the electorate if you regard them as foreigners. Such ingratitude for the country that is giving you a living and a safe haven.

No policies at all then. Just 40% tax with nobody in charge?
.
Sure the other parties do similar things but they are not quite so blatant about it. Someone said Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask.
.

So, I take it that this fugitive has or will be suspended until the situation is sorted out?

It would have been good to see the Kenyan Official response to the allegations... especially the conspiracy nut style claims of Kenyan snatch squads operating in the UK.

Kenya is a respected member of the Commonwealth isn't it? Police state? Utterly corrupt you say? So whats the point of the commonwealth then? If MrMyunabu is correct then why are we still shovelling UK International Aid to a corrupt police state then? This doesn't add up.

Because shovelling UK International Aid to a corrupt country is what we do. It's in the genes you know.

He has obviously found a home amidst his own type in among the Basildon council and councillors LOL.

keep an eye on this guy is all i can say

It says 'dissolved' and not 'in liquidation'. You are right that there are many 'sleazy' businessmen around but is not that easy to dissolve an active company that owes money, for one thing a notice gets posted in the London Gazzette which is picked up online 'alert' companies. Also, Daniel Munyambu has another, active UK company 'Alliences UK Ltd' which is trading and files its accounts each year, on time with Companies House. Although I have no concrete evidence one way or the other, quick check around and nothing sleazy jumped out.

Oh, and why do posters keep mentioning Nigeria, is there something I have missed?

@ benfleet101

The London Gazette is not something someone in Kenya would read on a regular basis, is it?

(I never said Nigeria, you are confusing me with someone else.)

In fact, most people in the UK wouldn't be avid London Gazette readers.

By the way, there's no trace of the company you mention on Companies House, not even after correcting your spelling mistake. What's the registration number?

You say there is nothing sleazy. Well, maybe, and maybe not.

The easiest way to rip off the taxman - and potentially others as well - is to start a company, NOT file any accounts, and let Companies House strike it off and dissolve it - because that's what they do if no accounts are filed. No need for the liquidation process there, it's more or less automatic.

So there is this guy in Kenya who says he is owed £15,800 by a company that has conveniently gone out of existence. Think about it...

The fact he's a Labour councillor - well isn't that a surprise. Sir have some courage and go back to your home country and counter these allegations as an honourable politician/MAN would do. The Labour party wouldn't let one of its own be jailed. I would though like to know how anyone and everyone from the world can come and settle here putting extra strain on housing, schooling and healthcare. But then again millions of EU citizens suffering economic hardship will soon be welcome when they mass into every town and city. God bless the EU. Cant wait until we have a Euro language and a Euro President. Just don't dare to be English in England any more.

God bless Tony Blair for allowing Africans to immigrate to the UK en masse. Forget about the fact that at least 30% of them live on welfare. Where would we be without these people and the fine moral example they show us unworthy white English?

Something tells me these comments will get pulled anytime now. Get your comment in quick :o) while you can.

This man must be guilty for his skin is not milky and his eyes are too far apart.

Just some food for thought ;-)

Hmmm. "His own type", eh? This from the King of Paveestan, upholder of all things righteous and scourge of the racist abusers (as defined by the Clown Court Judge). Hypocrisy, pure and simple. I take it that it is OK now to describe the Dale Farm miscreants as a bunch of Pikeys without giving offence? No need any more to mince your words, Mincer.

Hahaha - yes, unlike the DF lot he does not need to run to the European courts to get a definition of his race.

This English people should know that some people have dual nationalities! Am British & Kenyan! So is he I presume.

lol! The London Gazette is not a 'newspaper' that most people in the UK would read, you are right! However, it is THE place that anyone in business, or their representatives would refer to as all business notices are posted in it, and yes, it's notices are read around the world where business is concerned. http://www.london-ga

Companies House do not strike companies off for not filing accounts, they FINE them. Even if the company has not traded, it has to file Dormant accounts.

Here is the company details from Companies House you could not find http://wck2.companie

Oh, and sorry about the spelling mistake, I'm not perfect. :)

If he has been suspended from the labour party pending an Investigation surely he should suspended from Basildon council to.

I find it a joke that he can now turn round a say he will be an independent.

Labour have a long running tradition of promoting people who put the UK last and it would seem the same with this chap who talks about another country as his "home country."

I also love the fact he has every flag showing on his desk except the Union Jack. Shows what a chancer he is.

Extradite him.

To be fair, the red/white one could well be the flag of St. George. Just what the Stars & Stripes is doing there is anyone's guess though.

I wonder what football team he supports? to paraphase Norman Tebbit ;)

The picture above makes the bloke look like some third world dictator in his office, with the foreign flags and all. Put him in a military uniform and he'd look the part.

It's no surprise that he is a Labour councillor, the party of mass immigration from failed states, which is slowly turning this country into a failed state. In the past successful states would colonise failed states and help them become successful. Today the complete opposite is happening as denizens of failed states are coming in droves to successful states and bringing them down. There's nothing racist in this as it is about culture and societal norms, not about ethnicity. If you are from a country where corruption is a way of life, then you don't usually abandon it as soon as you arrive in Heathrow.

It's amazing that the mainly working class English people of Vange elected a guy who considers Kenya to be 'his' country and who obviously spends a lot of time thinking about Kenya and Kenyan affairs. Many immigrants that I know in London have little loyalty to Britain, let alone England. They use this country to improve their lives, but their hearts and minds are elsewhere.
